As I understand, the dead student was one of the others who charged the shooter.
RIP
That is sad to hear. I did read that a second student involved in tackling the gunman was shot in the chest during the counterattack.
That makes two kids within a month that gave their lives to stop a gunman - the other being Riley Howell, an ROTC cadet in North Carolina.
Now we have American kids who have to fight against a shooter with their bare hands because the liberals in government and some liberal teachers won't let teachers or older students carry firearms or even other weapons for defensive use.
But, being Americans, now we have kids ready to fight to save their classmates even if it costs them their own lives. We really are the land of the brave.
